QRSTUV being ranked so low is purely a skill/commitment issue. You’ve gotta hit that shit with gusto, stick your chest out and enunciate every letter like it’s Les Mis or a military march. KYOO! ARRRR! ESSSSSS! TEEEEEEYOOOOOUVEEEE.
It’s one of your few opportunities to hit a nice, long, steady stride.
Elemenopee is the undisputed high point.
It’s the only other starting point when trying to figure out where something is in a library or something.
Call me crazy but LMNOP stands on the shoulders of HiJK. Give my boy at least a B
My thoughts exactly. You need a build up for a drop to really hit which HIJK carries with beauty and grace
It’s the ladders on the slide.

I like wxyz in french. I took french like 30 years ago but the alphabet was sticky and still gets lodged in my brain sometimes due to the last bit.
(This is phonetics/pronunciation, ofc, same melody)
Doobluh-vay (double v), eeks (x, but you saw a mouse), eegrek (???), zed (zed sounds much cooler than zee, which ironically sounds more French to me)
Hands down the best part of the French alphabet.
I’m Italian and the letters sounds similar to French: doppia vu, ics, ipsilon, zeta. But the standard Italian alphabet only has 21 letters, and w, x and y are not part of the alphabet (together with j and k).
By the way, the name of “y” in French means “greek i”
When I learned German alphabet Y is _epsilon _…
I think the British use zed also don’t they?
Hard disagree on WXYZ. C tier. Maybe B tier at best.
I’d knock down even further than that, tbh.
C at best.
Imagine not putting all of RSTLNE in S tier, SMH
I have bad news on how it’s taught now
Right. By alphabetical order of pronunciation.
Aitch, are, ayy, bee, dee, dubble-yuu, cue, eee, ecks, eff, el, en, em, ess, eye, jay, jee, kay, oh, pee, see, tea, vee, why, you, zed.
dubble-yuu, cue en, em You sure?

Just how I remember learning it in elementary school.
The “updated” alphabet song need not be mentioned
Uh what
For the curious, it’s because some kids were singing “LMNOP” and thinking “elemenopee” was all one letter.
This version sounds like it’s for babies!
Seriously though, i can imagine a two tiered elementary social structure developing around if you like the esol version or the og version
Jeez, they can’t make the AI sound human, so now they’re trying to make the kids sound like AI.
The awkward rests between Q and W are terrible.
Wait, you’re not saying this channel is AI are you?
Not really, I know nothing about the channel. It’s just the songs rhythm lacks any real variance and emotion, something that AI could replicate.
If they teach kids that’s how to sing/talk, then the AI voices will suddenly sound “human”.
The scuttlebutt is that the LMNOP section is hard for kids to learn, especially ESL kids. Slowing down that section helps them distinguish between each letter. Personally I was taught each letter individually alongside the song. Even as a hearing impaired individual I never really had an issue with that part. I am not a child educator though, so maybe there’s more research backing this up than one 30 year old anecdote.
Here is patient zero according to some light googling. That song came out 16 years ago, looong before we knew how goofy AI sounded.
LMNOP feels like you’re going down a slide.
Long live Zed.
Zed’s dead, baby. Zed’s dead.
I read about somebody naming their kid Abcde, claiming it was pronounced like ‘ab city’… meanwhile, Elemenope and Kiuares were right there.
Just tell everyone that Elemenope is a Greek name.
Eleonore?
